The core concepts in <u>Living Sensationally</u> formed the basis of my remarks. <br /><br />It was my first experience with having an interpreter on stage with me [the course was in French]. I would say a paragraph or so, and then he would say it again in French. I sounded GREAT as a French man!!<br /><br />People were very responsive, and wanted to know more... maybe <u>Living Sensationally</u> can get translated into French!sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-20987892151563562792010-05-17T09:26:00.000-07:002010-05-17T09:39:53.104-07:00BEING PART OF HOPE AND WELLNESSLast week Reji Mathew interviewed me for her blog which explores "Themes of Hope, Health, Disability, and Wellness".

It is so great to get a world view of one's profession, and to see how thinking is advancing from so many points of view!<br /><br />A young therapist stopped to tell me a great story about <u>Living Sensationally</u>. She is completing a year of community service in Bangladesh, a country that provides intense sensory experiences because of the density of their population. She told me that some volunteers are overwhelmed and cannot complete their service, but that she has really loved the work and will be continuing there. <br /><br />She stopped to tell me that on one particular trip, she was on a boat and reading <u>Living Sensationally</u>. People started asking her about it, and others started listening in. She eventually had more than a dozen people gathered around listening, an impromptu workshop! She told me that people found the information so helpful for their work in Bangladesh, and want to pursue using the information to help new volunteers with strategies to manage their sensory needs while in their service. Here is another way that knowing about one's sensory patterns can make life better!<br /><br />I am so grateful to this young therapist for sharing her story.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-44995060043868483582010-03-16T07:10:00.000-07:002010-03-16T07:16:06.988-07:00A TALK ON SENSORY PROCESSING ASSESSMENTHenry Stewart Talks creates collections of talks about various topics.

I am going to dinner with friends, and then to see a play that promises to be very entertaining. <br /><br />I love going to the theater because of the way that plays 'PLAY' with our senses. The set design invites us to imagine sensations that we are not actually having, but by tapping our memory of the sensory experiences, we become more involved with the actors and the story. For example, scenes of winter outside the windows of a cozy home remind us of our personal experiences with heat and cold. We might shiver or take our jackets off as we watch. Scenes about cooking might remind us of smells or tastes we have experienced, bringing thos memories into our experience. <br /><br />I also love the experience the actors, director and others create for me. I have learned that I have sensory and emotional experiences whether the play is wonderful or marginal; engaging our minds to use what we experience in a new way can never be a bad thing. <br /><br />Think about what ignites your senses; do something that taps your sensory memories this weekend. I will see you back here to find out about them.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-70229386292788265982009-12-10T17:10:00.000-08:002009-12-10T17:22:17.441-08:00CREATING KITCHEN TABLE TALKI have been talking for about a year now about making sure that people become aware of their sensory patterns, so aware, so commonly aware of them, that the 4 types [seeker, avoider, bystander, sensor] become common everyday language.<br /><br />I keep searching for ways to accomplish my goal. Lots of great steps toward this goal have happened, including all the activities recorded on this blog. Now I think another action I can take is to write some information and suggestions about how to be a SENSATIONAL human being on this blog. <br /><br />So, for today, think about the <strong>perfect situation</strong> for yourself to get some work done... Is it quiet, or do you need some background sounds? What position do you like your body to be in?--some people like to stand, lounge, while others are happy to sit. Each of these positions gives you different sensory input about your body, which is why certain positions are more satisfying for you. Do you stay still or move around a lot? Do you need a clear space, or can you have lots of things around and still concentrate? Do you have food or snacks or something to chew on while working? Every one of these choices generates sensory experiences for you! Make a SENSATIONAL work profile, and pay attention to your ability to concentrate, be productive and feel satisfied with your work.<br /><br />Seekers are most likely to have a busy environment and change around a lot.<br />Avoiders are most likely to create an isolated work situation with very little distractions.<br />Sensors are most likely to create a tidy organized work space, and are challenged if the space is not just right.<br />Bystanders are the most easy going workers, and can focus even in busy environments because they are not distracted by other things.<br /><br />Enjoy the sensations that make your work satisfying.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-66783234295231714272009-07-17T11:57:00.000-07:002009-07-17T12:01:07.790-07:00AMC Theatres has a program called "Sensory Friendly Films", which provides a special showing time for selected movies so that families who have a member with autism can attend the movies as a family.

Put them in aconcert in high school (obviously with training) and they are wonderful. My own daughter hated sudden, loud noises, (ie. sirens and fireworks) to the point where we avoided parades and fourth of July celebrations. However, she is gifted musically, and at the age of 17 months sang "Happy Birthday" to a friend, with correct pitch and words. She is currently studying classical voice. I would love to hear about the positives of people who are considered "non-typical". I think that too often children are put in the non-typical box and we forget that that unusual ways of perceiving, thinking and problem solving gives birth to new ideas.<br /><br /><em>What this person is expressing is that it is our uniqueness, our quirkiness that gives rise to innovation and creativity. We are on the wrong track if we think we have to 'normalize' these aspects of people's traits because we risk losing other very helpful aspects of their behavior as well. In the article referenced above, the authors cited the gifted literature, which hypothesizes that children’s sensory sensitivities might contribute to both their superior problem solving abilities and their challenges with social interactions. </em><br /><br /><em>It is not surprising that children who are great musically could also be sensitive to sounds. Perhaps that is how they notice the little nuances that others miss... we cannot indict one manifestation of their trait [i.e., their sensitivity], while hailing another aspect of it [i.e., their intense musical talent]. We have to find ways for the musical talent to flourish because of the sensitivity to details, while diminishing the impact of that same auditory sensitivity on other aspects of everyday life. We need to consider the risk of diminishing the sensitivity on the superior abilities.<br /></em>sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-76174655565327507372009-05-15T09:50:00.000-07:002009-05-15T09:53:01.098-07:00SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD for Living SensationallyThe CHILDREN OF THE NEW EARTH online magazine is awarding <u>Living Sensationally</u> the SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD in their July 2009 publication.

These characteristics can guide you to other clothing choices, and also provide support for getting rid of the things that dont completely honor your sensory patterns. When you are completely comfortable and confident in your clothing, you exude light, optimism, courage and happiness.<br /><br />SEEKERS: consider the weight of your clothing; do you like layers? heavy jewelry? fitted pieces? all of these choices provide extra input throughout the day, and may be helpful to meeting your seeking needs.<br /><br />AVOIDERS: since you may have a sparse wardrobe, consider what sensory experiences cause you to include or discard items. If you can identify EXACTLY what is acceptable to you, then you can be ready when something wears out and you need to replace it.<br /><br />SENSORS: You are very picky about your wardrobe; write down what the precise characteristics are, so you start thinking about the sensory experiences that you must include in your clothing choices. When you are mindful of these characteristics, you are less likely to just cringe at an item, and more likely to say 'that is not a choice, because...'<br /><br />BYSTANDERS: You may not pay much attention to your wardrobe. However, there are situations when your clothing tell a story about you. Get a friend to help you create entire outfits; take a picture of all the parts together, so you can recreate these outifts when you need to project a certain look.<br /><br />Happy Dressing! You will look sensational!sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-84507105798583919532008-11-11T08:44:00.001-08:002008-11-11T08:47:29.399-08:00LIVING SENSATIONALLY IS A SELLOUT!People have had to order <u>Living Sensationally</u> because it has sold out! This means more and more people are learning about their sensory patterns and sharing with others. Remember, my goal is for the 4 sensory patterns to be 'kitchen table' talk, so familiar that we can tease each other playfully about being 'seekers', 'avoiders', 'sensors' and 'bystanders' as a way of acknowledging our quirkiness and uniqueness. When we can play with our differences, we are appreciating each other rather than being irritated or frustrated.<br /><br />Keep the conspiracy of wisdom and acceptance going!sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-64240257156062907442008-11-11T08:39:00.000-08:002008-11-11T08:43:41.229-08:00UNITY TEMPLE ON THE PLAZAOn Sunday, November 9, 2008, the lesson at the Unity Temple on the Plaza service was 'Diversity is Sensational'. At this congregation, they begin services with "Where diversity is praised, peace and harmony are the rewards". As the guest speaker for the lesson, I offered the idea that another way to praise diversity is to know about your sensory patterns, and the patterns of your family, friends and coworkers. We had a great time exploring this topic together, and getting 'in touch' with our senses as a way to know ourselves a little better. Being mindful includes insight and understanding, which then enables us to pause in situations and consider the meaning of the experience before taking action. Knowing sensory patterns informs our mindfulness.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-53913996529142816892008-11-11T08:34:00.000-08:002008-11-11T08:39:16.052-08:00PLAZA LIBRARY EXPERIENCEMore than 70 people showed up at the library to find out about <u>Living Sensationally</u>. It is really great to see that people are interested in this topic without any other previous experiences. When I talk to colleagues and families in my professional work, they are already somewhat familiar with the ideas, and want to learn more. At the library, the ideas have to stand on their own merit as raw material; thanks to everyone who responded to this invitation to spend an evening with me. I loved all the conversation and stories people had to tell, and as always, I learn too.<br /><br />And the very coolest thing: Mr Kemper, the person providing vision for the Library system in our community, took the time to come and thank me for being part of the Library series. This man is an incredible and positive force in our community; I so appreciated meeting him, and in a small way, contributing to his vision for us.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-12762416948336819672008-11-11T08:31:00.000-08:002008-11-11T08:34:01.443-08:00CENTRAL EXCHANGE: SELL OUT CROWD!I had a marvelous time at the Central Exchange this week (an organization of professional women). We discussed <u>Living Sensationally</u>, with the workplace and coworkers in mind. The room was completely full, and I was so honored to be with so many amazing women. Their questions were insightful and thought provoking for me. Every time I tell people about sensory patterns, I learn as much as they do.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-43106555461324299622008-09-22T14:25:00.000-07:002008-09-22T14:29:52.457-07:00SPEAKING AT CENTRAL EXCHANGEOn October 30, 2008, I will be speaking to Women Leaders in Kansas City about <u>Living Sensationally</u>. We are going to emphasize how one's sensory patterns affect work and productivity; this is a great way to reduce judgement in the workplace and increase everyone's appreciation for each other's talents and 'quirks'. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.centralexchange.org/calendar.asp?ID=3370">http://www.centralexchange.org/calendar.asp?ID=3370</a>sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-43400233827249817572008-09-22T14:20:00.000-07:002008-09-22T14:23:44.266-07:00SPEAKING AT PLAZA PUBLIC LIBRARYThis Wednesday evening, I am giving a talk at the Plaza Public Library. The librarians have done a great job letting the public know about this event; I have people asking me about it around town! <br />And, one of my favorite locally owned stores in town, STUFF, is providing books for sale for all the attendees. <br />I am really looking forward to discussing the great ideas in <u>Living Sensationally</u> with the community; knowing yourself and others better will only improve life in our city.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kclibrary.org/event/living-sensationally-understanding-your-senses">http://www.kclibrary.org/event/living-sensationally-understanding-your-senses</a>sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618196631021043687.post-53190645492262499322008-07-28T11:45:00.000-07:002008-07-28T11:53:11.996-07:00LIVING SENSATIONALLY IN ASIAI spent the month of June in Asia. I was invited to teach in Singapore and Hong Kong. It was really great to hear about the everyday lives of people living on another continent. It was also great to see that the concepts about how people contend with sensory experiences in their everyday lives still apply. We had many lively conversations about how to apply <u>Living Sensationally</u> ideas to life in Asia.sensory onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02719420067628714900noreply@blogger.com1
